Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs give Matt LaFleur enough answers to stay balanced and create play-action shots. The defense can wreck protection plans through Micah Parsons without sending extra rushers. The secondary still has to hold up behind him, and the passing game needs a steadier finish after receiver turnover.
See how the PFM category ratings shape Green Bay.
Green Bay's identity starts with a wide-zone and play-action offense built around Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs and tight-end movement. Tucker Kraft gives the offense another matchup piece.
The defense is the swing factor. More consistent stops would change the team’s game-to-game floor.
Love can work the middle off play action or push the ball outside, which is why Green Bay sits 10th in QB Stability. The offense gets shaky when turnovers force it away from Josh Jacobs and the tight ends.
A 7.4-point offensive edge fits a team that wants the run game and play action to control down-and-distance. The defense can support that formula, but only if pressure arrives before the secondary is forced to cover the full route concept.
The Packers win by staying balanced, creating play-action shots and letting Parsons change the opponent’s protection plan.
The Packers are most exposed in turnover-heavy games where Love has to chase points without the run game or tight ends controlling the middle. Those games put a spotlight on passing-game consistency after receiver turnover and another season that ended short of expectations.
Green Bay ranks No. 16 in schedule difficulty, with an average opponent PFM Score of 80.4 and 6 games against current top-10 teams. Three of those top-10 matchups are away, while the next 5 opponents average 77.9.
Toughest remaining opponent: 
Los Angeles Rams at 90.6 PFM.
These are the two closest on-field builds in the PFM ratings. The similarities matter, but so do the differences.
The Bears are the closest match because both teams put the quarterback at the center of the week-to-week answer. The Packers lean on a wide-zone and play-action offense, while the Bears lean on a motion-heavy play-action offense. The Packers have the stronger offense.
The Patriots are another close match because both teams need big plays to create breathing room. The Packers get there through a wide-zone and play-action offense; the Patriots are built around a play-action and spread offense. Defense is where the Patriots create the separation.
Detroit remains the most proven NFC North obstacle. A wide-zone and play-action plan gives Green Bay enough to stay in the race. The remaining problem is passing-game consistency after receiver turnover and another season that ended short of expectations.
Green Bay has won 4 Super Bowls in 5 appearances, most recently Super Bowl XLV in 2011.
